You’re Special

Declare today a “take care of myself day.” You deserve it. Putting yourself first may sound selfish. It is, however, the most important thing you do this week. Taking care of one’s self begins with creating space so you can find time to step aside, even for a few moments, from life’s demands. How you take care of yourself is up to you. Be creative. If you feel guilty, enjoy the guilt feelings. Seriously. The guilt feelings were passed on to by other people. Don’t let them stop you from taking time for yourself. Here’s some starting tips: Avoid drama. Have the courage to say, “NO!” Someone interrupts and wants a decision, say, “I’ll think about it.” C’mon, you’re special. Treat yourself as such.
